DENVER NUGGETS 105, Washington Wizards 102
The Wizards turned the ball over 24 times and the Nuggets took advantage to the tune of 30 points, hanging on to send the Wiz back to D.C. with a 1-3 mark on their road trip. Kenneth Faried had 20 points and three blocks for Denver, Randy Foye added 17 points and Darrell Arthur had 15. Ty Lawson notched four steals and former Wizard Jan Vesely and Evan Fournier had three each. Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 21 points, Trevor Ariza added 18, Marcin Gortat finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds, and John Wall and Drew Gooden scored 15 points each. Wall, however, had eight turnovers to just four assists.

SACRAMENTO KINGS 124, Milwaukee Bucks 107
Well, that escalated quickly. The Kings burst out to a 39-16 lead after one quarter and led by as much as 40 before Milwaukee took full advantage of garbage time in the fourth quarter to make the score somewhat respectable. DeMarcus Cousins had 32 points and 12 rebounds for Sacramento, Isaiah Thomas added 30 points, Rudy Gay scored 24 and Ben McLemore had 15. O.J. Mayo led the Bucks with 21 points.
